Beware of Poets

by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen — Read all 1,670 poems by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen

Tuesday, March 30, 2004

Beware the words of poets -- even own.
Wraith-wrapped and shadow-wracked they spew the spawn
Of human thoughts, whose darkest fears, unknown
Or not, crescendos out like tortured pawns

In chancy games of self-acclaim. Beware
The nights of aging fears when poets cry,
As dreams recede beyond the need to care,
So stopping flow of questions asking why.

Where safe in mind can poet go? Too late
Debate of right or wrong, blood eyes that dwell
In passion’s cell negate sad errored fate
While feeding self-aimed hate... So now, farewell.

Ware wisdom’s words when wisdom speaks aloud,
Lest words-of-self engulf you in their shroud.

Dear erin- The light at the end of the tunnel oftens feeds our breath when the real burden lies upon others. No two people can stand in the same place to know anothers circumstance. It is hard for even a president to speak with a mixed audience and recently has said he has no neutral footing-A person should though not make the mistake of speaking (especially words taken from elsewhere or out of place for the exact person). If one finds out of the existance of a generalized malacious and blind intention he either pays for the greater mistakes or finds an impossible path to tread through a loaded mongolian-idiot's mine field (village idiots convention) mine field. If you encounter an idiots arranged damntion of shallow meaning(high priority corners-dominoes) beginning to end.... a person can withdraw suffering into a non caring-cacoon state. The Meaningless and thoughtless industry of loosers and the already lost.This is a very sad poem marvin
